I’ve been using two clay bodies for a while, undecided which I prefer. One is easier to get delivered, though. So I ordered four bags and now I’m p sure I prefer the other one after all 😂😂

Probably my own fault for bothering but the Ed Gein thing on Netflix is fucking awful.

Wife is at the posh car boot with some of my pots, mostly seconds and older bits and pieces; I can’t be there bc I am sick. But she’s giving very frustratingly sparse info. Sold a “green bowl” - they are ALL GREEN!

I’ve got vases and general vessels in progress, so I need to decide on my next little project once I’m well enough to get back on the wheel. Maybe plant pots 🤔

These are headed out to a fancy ass car boot today (without me because I am still sick) but will be headed to the web shop on the next update

I have a virus/cold and as usual for me my sinuses are blocked. Tried a bunch of stuff (not Sudafed, never Sudafed) and nothing helped but I just checked on the kiln for a sec before bed, it’s 1000° in a small room and suddenly I can breathe

Holy propaganda Batman

You know if you have a wife you get to hang out with your favourite person like all the time

Grapevine does amazing things this time of year

I’ve been drinking lacto free milk for the better part of a year and today I had a milkshake like why the fuck did I think that would be a good idea

Ok I’m sick, incredibly predictably bc someone came to the studio with an active cold (do not do this! Stay home!) So far it’s manageable. D is in the office so I have to haul my arse up to get food in me.

I have a sore throat 😟

Whipped this up on vista print a couple of days ago, I think it’s ok!

Just as we are beginning to understand the biochemical basis of this horrendous condition, the government appoints the man perhaps most responsible for the mischaracterisation of ME/CFS – Simon Wesseley - to its *overdiagnosis* commission. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/controv...

If I wanted to let someone pay me by using their card on my phone, which app should I be using? Car boot style. UK.

A transphobic pressure group is trying to ban trans women from Hampstead women’s pond – it's time to fight back https://goodlawproject.org/petition/keep-hampstead-womens-pond-inclusive

Update: am now carrying my tool box (full of pottery tools) so I made it gayer

There’s a lot of words and language around trauma now but there’s not any for what’s going on in me rn. V frustrating.

Why does Texas have to much of the national guard? Like why are they based there?

Never seen nor read a single Harry Potter thing, which is hard not to feel smug about honestly

Keep noticing I’m thinking about how much I want to drink myself into oblivion. I haven’t had alcohol for well over a decade.

I dunno if I’ll keep it but I’d say it probably helped a bit

Do I need to know wtf a TikTok shop is

Love seeing my pots in the wild, fulfilling their destiny thanks to you :)

I wonder if I have enough latent muscle memory and skill to make something from inside this traumatised bubble.

Work in progress. Really I should finish these off today, but I’m in a v weird headspace so I might go do something else entirely and/or sit under a table for ten hours.

I’ve had like four x the benzo dose I used to need and I’m still feeling grim. Bedtime soon.

Went to a physio who cracked my neck before I knew what he was gonna do so I managed to get him to not do that again but now I’ll be worried I’m gonna have a stroke

Took my mental ass to the pool finally and I do actually feel quite a bit better for it. Wasn’t easy, mentally I’m still kinda constantly fighting a rising panic atm. But! I have a strategy

Apologies for anyone who just likes the pretty pots but I am a full time batshit mental so sometimes I have to say some stuff to decompress. Realised halfway home from therapy I’m fully triggered and I know I’m in for a world of pain this week, with max possible time until I… go to therapy.

Absolutely convinced I’ve had the most niche request for a ceramic object ever today. My cousin would like a bespoke moth feeder. To feed her hand-reared moths. I’m so here for it.

We sleepy

I haven’t yet recovered from Saturday, and I have a low level sinus infection going on (probably related) and today I have plans but tomorrow. TOMORROW! I will rest… wait I have therapy tomorrow. THURSDAY! Thursday I will rest and rest and rest and rest.

Me before the studio session: I’m too tired, I might not go, I might only go for an hour or throw something small Me during the studio session:

I have these wax melt burners still available to buy on my website, they feel autumnal in a way I can’t quite describe. They come with two wax melts, to get you started, or to complete a potential gift. WavingPinesPottery.co.uk

Other new things! This Mishima pot is on a paler clay body, so it’s much more subtle than the buff clay. Pros and cons I think? As ever, I continue to make Things With Lids. Everyone in the studio particularly likes the green one. The lid is v v pleasing. All for sale on WavingPinesPottery.co.uk

I wonder what’s a good throwing project for when you’re very very tired 😂 I usually use the studio time to throw big but I’m not sure I’ve got the strength. Trinket boxes maybe.

Mainstream politics just isn’t gonna save us. None of them.

Wife made Betelgeuse outta the raku btw. Terrifying.

I am really, really paying for yesterday rn.

Guess what I did today

We are back! From the holidays! Posting is now resumed, should you buy anything from my shiny website. Making has not yet resumed as I am too exhausted >.<

I have lost my card and if it’s digital I have lost my password and that’s that.

Guys we are away for a few days and look at this secret garden door we get a key to, it goes straight into the country park 😍

This is my friend Arabella. She is currently chomping at bits of dust in the shaft of sunlight

Sick day 🤒

Might make some jewellery dishes. With the little ring thing.

If you’ve shared my posts, genuinely: thank you. Without playing the algorithm game on that other place, I’m really just relying on word of mouth to reach my audience. I appreciate it.

Less to do in the studio than I thought today, because the weather has changed so much things are not drying overnight now. Gonna go eat a VLT and play hearthstone instead 🤷🏼
